Forgoing a Firefighting Tool
obliviondoll:
I can imagine with the right build of a Squid, it might be possible to get away with a single engi for firefighting (Wrench/Extinguisher/Chemspray lol). Maybe - MAYBE - for a Goldfish too. Any other ship, and you want at least 2 Engineers to have firefighting tools.
Obviously, if there's a gunner on your ship, this means no engineers should be running without firefighting tools. On a ship with 3 (or 4) Engineers, having one (maybe 2) crew members with no firefighting ability is a little more viable. Even then, the flexibility of having both repair and fighting tools is hard to pass up when you have an Engineer. Even 3 crew members can't be everywhere at once, and if you happen to be the guy next to a burning part of the ship, you might end up wishing you were one of the firefighters...
ShadedExalt:
As obliviondoll mentioned, being the guy next to the burning bit without any fire tools is never fun, and it happens enough as it is. Noob here, but I'd give everyone a fire tool.

Oftentimes when I ask a newer player who was a gunner to switch to an engineer and give them that loadout, complain that they don't have a fire tool. I then point out they were already ready to play without one.

How to kill real men:
step 1: hit balloon with incendiary long range gun, like merc
step 2: hide, wait for balloon to burn down
step 3: ? ? ?
